interesting article i found about prince and the jw religion.
i guess they are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.
i find it disturbing that the elder stated if prince had an addiction to prescription drugs, that is a personal matter but the hundreds of intrusive jw rules like going to college (not scriptural) and growing a beard (also not scriptural) are not also considered a personal choice.
I almost wish I was still going to meetings so I could turn up wearing a Prince-inspired skin-tight purple skirt suit and white puffy shirt complete the look with trowled on make up and eyeliner and dripping fake pearls and occult symbols.
I would just say if it's good enough for Bro Prince.......
george cook, omg, george f'ing cook, whattttt!.
caption: elder george cook (right), one of the nine elders of the small 90-person congregation, said prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community and in groups.
he was very detail oriented and very eccentric.
Captain Cook looks pretty happy with his new assignment, I bet there were plenty of ex-DOs hoping to land that gig.
Lol. JWs are such pathetic leeches.
has anyone heard about this?
that really sucks.
lots of dubs are talking.
"we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.
the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

Why do they appear to make massive concessions when it comes to celebrities?
Prince, the Williams sisters ?? They seem to get away with far more than you or I could ever dream of getting away with. Fashion, lifestyle choices, career choices.
The WT are friggin hypocites they will bend the rules depending on how much money you bring in, it's that simple.
It's a scam people, wake up!
a japanese sister who recently woke up revealed me that she became extremely suspicious about the organization after reading watchtower article .oct.15 2015page31.
.
Imagine the jw broadcast being hijacked with clips of key moments during the ARC victim testimonies and elder reponses.
The announcement that followed would go something like.....
JW broadcast has been cancelled until further notice due to the appearance of facts.
We apologize for the appearance of these pesky facts and are doing all we can to ensure this type of factual difficulty never appears again.
has anyone heard about this?
that really sucks.
lots of dubs are talking.
I'm saddened by this news. A talented, sensitive man gone too soon.
Just wish he had woken up and given WT a big public middle finger before he died.
who cares?.
the first time i was in distress with the watchtower, i was fortunate to find this place.
my ego thought ,i was somehow special, that my posts were reaching a worldwide audience, and most of all i felt at ease, maybe home is a better word.
hey there, .
i have an apologetics website, and i've recently posted three articles on jw doctrine.
i was wondering if you all could make suggestions to improve them, or for new content.
Why are you interested in targeting JWs?
Also, don't be too flattered by the two witnesses you know "commending you for your Bible knowledge" they say that to everyone. They flatter people in the hopes of recruiting them, funny that you fell for it - just a heads up btw.
so i was scrolling through the latest morning worship videos and found our good friend tony m. explaining why the gb is not dogmatic.
.
you can find hirs reasoning at around the 3:30 mark here..
Introducing Dogmatic he only raps about dogma.
it's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.
" by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.
" they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".
The loaded language is how you tell a true believer from a weak christian. I remember getting counseled by a group of older sisters at the KH becuse I greeted them as "ladies" rather than "sisters" WTH!
My reply " ok, ok you're not ladies then." Lol.
